I have since updated my loadout! Check it out HERE: czcams.com/video/eO042AIMx1g/video.html
I live in a very rural, isolated area too. I carry an SP101 357 in a belt holster, a leatherman wave and a small flashlight all day, every day. It’s simple but it’s all I need. Oh and a very protective and loyal Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Scout follows me step for step 😂
Dan Wesson . 357 was my first pistol back in ‘79.
I use a .357 revolver. Its a ruger. I also like the gerber strong arm and my s1r olight. Thanks for sharing👍🇺🇸
Like how you’re pointing out your use of less expensive stuff if it works for you
Thanks! Expensive doesn't mean good
My personal drinking record is 7 liters a day. That was at the end of June 2018. My buddy and I hiked up to the Pleisenspitze in the shade at 30 ° C and there was hardly any shade. This is a 2569m high mountain in the Alps, in the Karwendel Mountains near Scharnitz in Tyrol. That was about 1600 meters up. When I got down again after 12 hours, I was pretty much exhausted.
Cool setup. Dan Wesson revolvers are pretty good. The one I've handled was also lighter than most of the other .357's I've messed with. So not having it drag your pants down to your ankles all day is a plus.
Yep, those whistles are perfect for getting animals to move along. Works on most people, too.
Good stuff, very practical, common sense and it doesn't cost a small fortune. Cheers mate!! 👍🙂
Thanks!
Smart EDC man, the whistle/noise is exactly what keeps the bears and big cats away. Good to see the blade is doing well! That's awesome it fits your Ka-Bar hard sheath so well. Also huge thanks for the shoutout, I really appreciate it.
I can't think of anything I'd change on your EDC. For me I have to be very discreet due to laws/prohibited items here. Layers of Kevlar, striking tools, and pocket knives are my go to for EDC/self defense. When on duty I can wear my body armor so that's a plus. However the company doesn't have the insurance for us to be armed...very expensive here. Anyhow enough typing from me. Awesome video man!
thanks man!
If your EDC items and gear work for you...man, that's all you need. Once I set up my camp in the wilderness I love to explore and I just take a chest pack with my CCW, couple extra magazines, compass, pace beads, small flashlight, a couple of Bic lighters, plus other items that essentially comprise a survival kit. A couple times I wandered so far from my base camp I ended up sleeping under a tree or on a large fallen tree. I miss my old Ivor Johnson six shooter that was able to shoot both 38 and 9mil ammo and I carried it on my left hip in a western holster. While riding my motorcycle it was somewhat of a deterrent sign to those who liked to throw food and drinks out of their windows at motorcycle riders. They were the only wild animals I worried about.
Whenever I’m going out in the woods I like to keep my 30-06 and a knife. Canteen and blanket
Good,simple and very functional set up. Very similar to mine.
Yay exciting series! 👍🏻
nice gear I carry 10mm glock 6"knife a rifle flashlight 3 magazines take a back pack with gear on a range belt still like u set up brother
Nice!
Shirt is great, been looking for a new one and if it's Gruntproof ...
Puppies will learn to stay with you if you let them off lead early. That's how I'm training my lab puppy and she sticks close by.
I'm one of those urbanites who carry EDC, but if your out in a forested park you wanna be able to see, especially as it starts getting dark early now in the UK.
Keep up the great videos, thanks for the content
Thanks! Nothing wrong with being prepared
Keeping it simple is the best principle. And it is all up to the individual.
the mmpr intro always get me. that shit is awesome
I'd suggest you get a watch like a Casio ProTrek PRG330. It'll have compass, barometer, altimeter, world time, multiple alarms, countdown timer, Chrono, etc. Definitely look into a first-aid kit, if you have not already. Multitool pliers can be useful. I've used mine a lot for many random situations, just within the last week.
I think this is my most favorite video to date Gama very informative common sense
No bs, just perfect tools to do the job :)! Waiting for the knive review :)

Great vid. Subbed
I live in DC and my EDC is a mix of Urban and non-Urban equipment. Mostly non-Urban related EDC for me insures that if a bugout situation occurs and I have to escape out of the urban area ASAP, one less thing I have to do is revert to a more "wilderness" favored EDC compliment. Yes it's more to carry, and yes I am old and it's not the most convenient set up, I do FEEL more secure and I am DEFINITELY more prepared to respond to either situation.
Excellent!
Don’t forget your reflective PT belt.
Re EDC: I thought all these people with Spydercos with the most advanced steel known to mankind must be "SAS or Special Ops" but l have a feeling the only thing they're used for is opening their mail or cleaning their nails! Like me!
I find most venomous snakes won't bother you unless you sneak up on them.
The more aggressive ones taste like chicken.
Long barreled 38, can here the guys " where's the Glock " reither have the revolver. As far as EDC in urban sites, small items are good to carry never know.
That power rangers theme intro though…🔥🔥🔥
I see eye-to-eye with you about not wanting to harm animals, if unnecessary. They have a right to be where they are, most of the time. I prefer to give them respect and the chance to go away or around and to continue-on.
Great video. Love the sound of your farm/ranch/place. Can I come visit? :-)
I would make a few suggestions based on what I think were the Conditions you described.
I think you're taking unnecessary risks that you can easily reduce. The first is the risk of a serious mobility injury. If you're bitten or sprain or break something, that radio might help you with getting rescued but you might be looking at spending a night or two. You're also taking some high risk with water, it sounds like. 20 oz in the condition you describe is insufficient. Having been in the desert you know that once a heat casualty, always a heat casualty. So if you've ever gone done with heat symptoms I'd definitely up water intake when you're out in the woods.
You need added gear that's lightweight so you're motivated to carry it.
#1 I would definitely sling a two-quart canteen around my neck and tie a small metal cup to it. I carry Sawyer water filter, bag and small hose duct-taped to the sling. #2 I would carry 1-2 emergency blankets (the small ones that weight 2 oz). #3 a SWAT Tourniquet or whatever one you're most familiar with. #4 Cotton cloth or dressings. You can carry the old GI version which is a cravat with large gauze pad or you can buy compression bandages and triangular bandages. #5 Tape #6 Bank line #7 A small fire kit with home-made tinder, lighters and matches. #8 A real compass #9 Very lightweight poncho (10-12 oz) #10 Mirror (Both Suunto and Silva make a good compass with a mirror.) #11 Garbage bag (55 gal)
You can put all that inside a Molle Waistpack (9-10 oz, holds almost 7 L). You'll have a lot of room left over. But you can also figure out a way to hang that off your belt (except the canteen). Another easy way to carry stuff is a man purse (aka Haversack). But a market wallet or snapsack are also extremely light to carry and cost nothing.
Another really cool way to carry gear is the Versa Cloth. I think the concept has been around for a while but I first heard about it from BOSS (survival school inn Utah). Matt Graham also uses one. Cody Lundeen uses something like it and this gentleman has a couple of videos on it: czcams.com/video/Cm924kuBqvI/video.html
Personally, I have a 5 x 5 foot cotton one made from a bed sheet. If it were me, I'd stick all the crap I mentioned above in a light, Walmart 10 L dry bag (which you can also use to gather water), roll it up in the cloth, tie the cloth above my pistol belt or make a sling pack out of it, sling on the canteen and hit the trail.
All the above should be less than three pounds base weight (unless you buy a fancy, expensive man purse) then add four pounds for the water and you're looking at right around seven pounds trail weight.
Cheers brother.
Thanks!
That's a great edc for the wilderness. Just curious why you don't carry a multitool? Even for me a suburban father nothing beats a good folder, multitool, and a flashlight. The tools mostly get used to assist with impromptu maintenance when I don't want to go grab one of my tool boxes.
It's in my bag, not on me
My woods carry is my Ruger gp100 357 and my knife is a esee 3. Man has to have a good gun and knife while in the woods.
Love your channel, allow me to chime in....EDC: Albuquerque NM, cell phone, keys, IWB holster+sig P365x w 17rnd mag loaded to 16, small flashlight, extra glasses, bic lighter, extra magazine, ball point pen, small note pad, wallet, pocket knife locking one handed type and a bandana. I think this isheavy enough, any heavier and i wouldnt want to carry it. Thanks, keep up the good videos.
Sounds like your very prepared. Here in kentucky woods i carry a sog bowie knife and a whistle flashlight and ruger 6 inch 357 mag. I load it with 2 cci shotshells for snakes n such and 2 38 +p hp and 2 buffalo bore cast bullets just incase i run accross a pissed off sasquatch LOL.
My revolver is a dust collector if I don’t keep it covered with the untucked shirttail, especially if I’m mowing or running the wood chipper.
I cover it when I need to. Also wipe it down frequently
Why a 38? Seems like a 357 would be a better choice as far as revolver goes, especially through a 6" brl. In reality, a 9mm nato load has more punch through a 4" brl than a 38 through a 6".
I'm nastolgic, I carry an M1911 A1 made by Rock Island Arms, my Buck Reaper or Tom Brown Tracker #3. Always carry a whistle, my pup Sage answers mine as well. I live in open off the grid country in southeastern Arizona, lotsa wild life an ileagals to watch for. JJ
were to u get ur jungle boots from I see the rothco ones on amazon but IDK the durability and if there going to do good in the high dessert
Mine are DD30 from Amazon. Pretty damn good. I was going to get a pair of the rothcos to test
I recently just got the UV 5R and I’m having a hard time connecting to a receiver. I’m here in San Antonio and I know there are a lot of receivers
Repeaters? There are tons of awesome HAM CZcamsrs that can help with that.
@@GruntProof I’m sorry I meant repeaters LOL
Nice simple EDC , I have a question, I've been wondering what the lowest caliber handgun I could use in the woods for Black Bear? that's the biggest thing I have to worry about here in Michigan. Don't know if you had to worry about that in Mississippi? Don't you have Grizzlies up there where you're at? I figured you would need at least a .44Mag.
There's no grizzlies in CA anymore. If we're talking about bears specifically I will take the 20 ga with slugs. Maybe the 410 revolver, or at least a .40 Cal. The Dan Wesson is a 457 but I don't count on it for bears. Besides, I've seen bears all over on my game cameras, but just a few times in real life. Even then they are running from me
@@GruntProof Thanks, I have seen a black bear only once on our way driving in to our campsite, it ran across the road in front of my truck. Once when I was backpacking with a buddy, I heard a bear sniffing right outside my tent. Luckily, we hung our food up in a tree away from our tents. I would just like to have a decent sidearm just in case. I think my Beretta 92FS would just piss the bear off...
You have a regal beagle
You can really serré up the timing of a revolver by slamming the cylinder shut the way you are doing. Also by swinging the cylinder closed!
The revolver is a good choice for the weight. You might only have one hand free to shoot with if you’re attacked.
Right
Thumbs up
For critters, JIC, why not tote a .357 mag at the least, cause you never know, just my .02. Thx.
The Dan Wesson is a 357, that fires .38 special. I keep forgetting to say that in videos
@@GruntProof Gotcha, kinda caught me off guard with that one.
I'm still trying to get a hold of some 357 snake shot. Then I have something for everything
@@GruntProof they don’t make 357 mag. snake shot just standard 38 snake shot and it tears them up pretty good.
Don’t slap your cylinder!
Ok, going to dweeb out. Your EDC, don't forget the other "C's". You got Carry (water bottle), Cover (Hat and Solid Clothing), Crisis (Pistol), but I'd definitely add to my Crisis (First aid kit) and Cover (Fire source), and Cordage (you could use your boot laces if needed) but what about Calories,?
A ham guy. I am not bothered by you using that radio. Not where you are located. Dan Wesson revolver. I am guessing .357. Mighty cool 😎.
Well sir, 38 special is not what I call powerful. 9mm typically outperforms that. 357 mag or 10mm to me is about the minimum in my opinion for big predators. Of course 20ish rounds of 9mm will usually curb somethings appetite.
38 special can out perform 9mm in some aspects and just the overall platform it's in beats autos obviously 357 is stronger but maybe he is wanting faster follow up shots
That big Dan Wesson is capable a steady diet of gnarly 357 Magnum ammo like Buffalo Bore and the such , or full-power 357 handloads. Did I misunderstand or do you only carry 38 specials? If so, you must have a reason.
Greg.
I'd use 357 instead of 38 special, I'm just better with it for some reason. But always use what you're comfortable with
Dont mess with my toot toot
For all the negative comments about him using a 38 special he says that's the gun he shoots the best he's comfortable with that and that's what works for him
Has to be a better way to carry with either a shoulder or chest so it's out of the way. I hate toting mine around on my hip while cleaning up brush piles, cutting down brush/thorns, cutting down tree's and splitting wood etc. Feels like it is in the way, was hoping to see you shoulder or chest carry to see if it got in your way/hung up on stuff. Since I'm too cheap to buy both and try them out.
This actually works for me. I don't like shoulder carry
What state are you in?
I'm all over. In this video, northern CA
What are you using as cartridge carrier on your belt?
It's from the hunting company Solognac, usually found on Decathlon
@@GruntProof thank you!
Ok, so who made the belt? I like it
Solognac
@@GruntProof thanx
dumb question: what could be an alternative for a gun? where i live we dont need guns and it would be hard to get one anyways. plus i am not a gun person. but i wonder; in a true wilderness environement like yours - what could be a viable option instead?
btw - i always carry a sak, a lighter and some plasters. i dont need much else.
I live in Germany 1/2 the year, so I understand. I usually just carry my kbar in that case. But then again, the most dangerous animal I could run into in DE would be an angry Sau, mother pig.
@@GruntProof yeah we got them here too. atm there are several groups of them in the forest right behind my house......
I have never understood the EDC thing for city dwellers either. Why do you need to carry a lighter a flashlight and other things you will never need all day. If you’re in the city a phone, handgun , wallet and a pocket knife will do just fine. Also, the 38 Special is not near as powerful as a 9 mm. I personally would carry 357 magnum minimum if I wanted to carry a revolver.
I have since upgraded
22 LR - 20G over/under
Can you provide a link for the name brand shirt, plz? Solen Who?
Solognac
k, thx!
My bad. Robert got it 👍🏻
Drink lots of water for good health is the conventional wisdom, but there are other schools of thought these days. Some nutritionists say that drinking excess water strips minerals from the cells. They claim that only small amounts of liquid containing mineral content should be consumed. I don't know what the actual truth is, but I have cut back my water consumption, even in the summer heat.
Like the fact that you carry down to earth gear, nothing tacticool or exuberant.
KISS: keep it simple, stupid
OFF TOPIC; Please Grunt Proof the new larger size (8.5'x 12') Arcturus Emergency Blanket. You mentioned you were going to test it out when you "failed" the smaller 5'x7' version. I want to buy a couple of the larger versions AFTER I've seen your Grunt Proof test.
Thanks! They actually contacted me shortly after and mentioned a new, improved model. I will wait until that comes out
@@GruntProof It's presently being promo'd & sold on their website. Specifically, they are telling everyone that their grommets are 35% stronger & claw onto the fabric instead of being pressed on.
Thanks.
Wish my country was smart enough to at least let us have a single action revolver. But no, only over and under full length shotguns or a .22 rifle with a license that's more of a gamble than a right.
Well even here in the US our government is full of people that try to take that right away every single day. Joe Biden being one of those people. It is all about power and control and they know if the population is armed they are much harder to control. They cant get away with as much when the people are a threat to the leaders.
The color of their tie makes no difference. Look up all the bills Congress has passed in the last 20+ years. Almost none of them in line with American values. Meanwhile we fight over one idiot in the Whitehouse
@@GruntProof I agree with that but democrats are more likely to vote for anti gun bills than republicans. Dont forget Joe Biden was responsible for the crime bill that got standard sized magazines banned for a decade.
And republicans are responsible for the Patriot act and billions of aid to shithole countries. None of them care about us
@@GruntProof Yep that is for sure. Both parties are horrible. Kind of a pick your poison. Only a handful of issues split the parties apart. Guns being one of the big ones. But right now only one party is pro censorship and anti gun. I wish there was a way to hold them accountable when they ignore the constitution.
The fact is until we find a way to get money out of politics they will never work for us. They are all getting into office and making themselves filthy rich while screwing over the average person.
2 thing's i always forget to take is my false teeth & my phone..
😜🤳👍
Have you ever deterred an attacking animal with the whistle? I think it would just anger them, but I hope I'm wrong because guns are illegal and dog attacks are everyday around here.
Not an attacking one. In that case I'd draw the pistol. I just know that I blow the whistle randomly a lot and, since I've started that, I haven't seen another animal up close. I have changed nothing else about my movement in the woods, so that's what I base that on.
Here in Alaska my woods carry is the Xdm 4.5 10mm carrying 16 rounds of underwood 200 grain HC with a 15 round back up mag also loaded with the HC
Nice!
What do you think of the 7.5 FK BRNO?
Don't know it
YES FIRST!!
Stop slapping your cylinder shut!!
Why?
My EDC pack is geared for suburban/Urban use. Flashlight, neck knife, ouch boo boo kit, pouch with a Swiss Army knife, spork, pens, magic marker, cheap power bank, usb drives, cords, a block charger for my phone, small notebook, headphones, and King James bible.
Just rather “talk shit” mate 😁
A 38? Why
I misspoke. It's a 457 but I had .38 loaded
@@GruntProof cool. 357 is minimum in bear country for me. Though my friend out in colo lets his youngest daughter pack a glock 19 with very special deep penetrating rounds. Thanks for replying and thank you for your service
Definitely!
You need a 50 BMG for Bigfoot
@Ham Samson what’s that
Dood.........
